Run downhill round small twists? (6)
I believe the answer is:
slalom
'run downhill' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'round small twists?' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'twists?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'twisting' mean this).
'o'+'small'='osmall'
'osmall' anagrammed gives 'SLALOM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for slalom that I've seen before include "Winter Olympic event" , "Winding ski-run" , "Skiing obstacle race" , "Skiers' obstacle race" , "Downhill skiing race" .)
